What separates good teams from great ones in baseball is the ability to manufacture runs and Cherokee Middle School did just that Saturday afternoon with an impressive 8-1 victory over Coalfield in the AA district tournament title game.

An impressive postseason run came to a close Wednesday evening for the Kingston Yellow Jackets as Mike Huwe’s squad dropped a heartbreaking 9-8 decision to Alcoa in the District 4-AA Tournament at Christian Academy of Knoxville (CAK).

The Lady Jackets had dropped their first game of the tourney to the host Lady Warriors on Tuesday, 4-1.

After stunning regular season District 3-A champion Meigs County on Monday, the Harriman Lady Blue Devils were hoping to carry that momentum into a run that would lead to next week’s Region 2-A Tournament.

The Alcoa Lady Tornadoes were a thorn in Kingston’s side during the regular season, sweeping the season series by scores of 9-6 and 11-4, but that all changed Monday evening as Kingston used a nine-run fifth inning to power past the Lady Tornadoes, 10-2, in the first day of double elimination play at the District 4-AA Tournament being played at Christian Academy of Knoxville.
